Answer» Step-by-step explanation: LET's find the X no. of people first x=1x/4+1x/3+2x/5+3=x/4+x/3+2x/5+3 =LCM=60 So, (15x+20x+12x)/60+3= = 47x/60+3=x 3=x-47x/60 =(60-47)x/60=3 =13x=180 x=180/13 so 1/4 of x people chose kiwi so 1/4×180/14 = 35/4 people chose kiwi

Step-by-step explanation:

LET's find the X no. of people first

x=1x/4+1x/3+2x/5+3=x/4+x/3+2x/5+3

=LCM=60

So, (15x+20x+12x)/60+3=

= 47x/60+3=x

3=x-47x/60

=(60-47)x/60=3

=13x=180

x=180/13

so 1/4 of x people chose kiwi

so 1/4×180/14

= 35/4 people chose kiwi
